I’m new to saltwater tanks. A few months back, my girlfriend and I wanted a fish tank so we bought a 37 gallon tank from pet smart. After I bought it, I immediately wanted to make it a saltwater tank. I upgraded to a fluval 307, and all the other goodies. A few weeks ago I went to the fish store...
I’m fairly new to reef keeping and I’ve had my Fluval evo running for a few months now, with 2 Clownfish, 3 hermit Crabs and a Zoa frag. I started it with live sand and dry rock, and the filtration is only biological. There have been many different types of algae coming and going, but I’ve just...
My tank is filled with water and is on a stand and has been that way for over a year, unfortunately I didn’t put a background on when it was empty and due to all the corals in there I really wouldn’t want to drain it so what are your guys ideas for putting a background on my tank?
I am planning on rescaping my 1 year old set up.I will be breaking the rocks already in the tank, so should I be using thin or thick glue when scaping? If thick, what export would you guys recommend or would you recommend not using any epoxy at all

So I bought what I think is some sort of mushroom coral with no research from a not very informative LFS. I know I’m a terrible noob.
I had researched that ‘mushroom’ corals are good beginner corals. But at this point I was unaware that not all mushroom corals are good beginner corals and then...

Had this frogspawn in my tank for about two months. I've placed it in the middle of my tank because I thought it looked great there and it was getting adequate flow. Checked my tank last night and it did look shriveled up. Now I checked it this morning and it looks like this. Is it a goner...

Hi all,
I recently got my first bird's-nest two weeks ago and the bottom of it is still white. I have it placed higher in my tank with the wave maker pointing at it. I'm not sure what to do. Should I move it lower in my tank? I have attached a pic of it.
Thank you!
Hello fellow reefers,
I upgraded my fluval 13.5 to a SCA 50g earlier last year. Everything is doing great, all my coral seem happy, and haven't lost any fish. But I do have some general questions and would like to hear your opinions on them.
Current coral stock: Rock Flower nem, GSP, Xenia...

So I got this bicolor angelfish about a week ago- has been happy and healthy as far as I can tell in a tank with one smaller black clownfish and a German cleaner shrimp and a few snails. I was just watching him swim around yesterday and I didn’t notice anything odd. Today I came home and saw...
When cleaning my tank my trachi closed up slightly and I noticed this weird thing underneath with an aptasia looking thing but clear and there was a funnel sort of thing under it. Really unsure as to what it is. I've had the trachi for about 4 months now but have only noticed this today
Can anyone help me locate any one of the two ? They are gorgeous and I need to get my hands on one, these are not bleached btw, this is their natural color. Thx !
